I made 4 newborn diapers!! They're so...

perfect and small!!!
I can't wait to put them on Pip. I am glad I decided to cloth diaper. I can see an addiction forming!
I even did my first applique!
I spent the evening cutting fabric to have ready to sew during Sofias nap tomorrow. This is just too much fun for me!! These ones are honeyboy pockets again. I'll have to buy some of my stash, I know, but making them is so rewarding. Thanks for looking!

I LOVE those. Why would you even buy one diaper when you have made such adorable diapers on your own?

Are those fleece outers/cotton inners? I was putting flannel in some of mine as inners, but I was curious if you could use cotton prints against the baby's skin. And if you have cotton on the aplix, does the diaper wick onto the wings?

Sorry for the questions. I have heard the HB pattern was a bit difficult, but you turned out some gems. Do you know how much fleece CDs like that cost!

Those are so cute! Honeyboys have knit inners, don't they? I have the pattern somewhere, it was given to me, maybe I should go read it.

Way to go!

Seriously... the pattern isn't hard at all! Go for it. And they're adorable diapers.
I've been using flannel for the insides and I hope it works. I REALLY hope these dipes work! I'm worried.
Thanks for the compliments. You al are so nice!

They are beautiful!!!

: Are they pockets or fitteds? How much skill level to try the pattern? Where do I get a pattern like these?

Sorry......you have inspired me!!!

Thankyou!!!
And to answer the questions...
Angelbee: They are pockets. I got the pattern from sewshoppe.com. It is very easy. The skill level can be anywhere from beginner (me) to advanced.
Mickiswing: I'm going to make a bunch more dipes... but might buy some too. I just don't want to end up with a bunch of cute homemade dipes that don't work when Pip arrives, so I was thinking buying some might be a good idea too.

I can't imagine those not working! Perhaps you should wait until the little sweetie arrives, see if your pockets work, and if not start shopping around. Then you will know what you want (and why your pockets don't work). And save tons of money.

You have one lucky little baby coming. How long does it take you to make those cute little diapers? I was thinking of getting the VB pattern, but now I think I am in love with the HB!

great job mama!
post #16 of 19
wow they look like you bought them!!! YOu have inspired me to pull out that pattern (Once IM done w/ all the dipes I have cut out already :LOL )

also on a side note- make them and if they dont work weel Im sure you can either trade them for other stuff that will work well or even sell them. You cans ell used ones you have made as long as you charge retail and disclose that you arent a WAHM to them..

My goodness, you should get a license! I can't believe you're a novice, those look really, really good - I have a hard time getting tabs straight and the legs to roll in and I've been sewing diapers for a handful of years now, excellent job, mama!
